FINALLY A NEW LINE DROPS!

It has been LONG time since I released ANYTHING for Free Idea. so here is the rundown of everything for the new line.

2x tees
1x windbreaker jacket
1x hat
2x stickers

One of the Tees will be designed by guest artist TIM "LEGROTRON" LEGROS a local artist from Massachusetts
That tee will be a limited run tee and only 25 tees will be produced.

The Windbreaker will be available for a PRE ORDER starting August 20th. we are only going to pre order 10 windbreakers, that because of pre order you will get 10$ off. after that full price. so get ready for them.

The hats and the other tee will be general release and will be available off the Online store as well as Free Idea carriers The Windbreaker will also be in selected shops.

We will have sneak peeks of the new line sometime in the next 2 weeks so stay tuned.

... party?

So every week i help host a weekly dance Party at the Umbrella Gallery. called "FLASH" It is now going into its 3rd week, And from what we hear. Kids like it! Just like Dance Parties out of Bigger Cities, like NYC, Boston, LA, Chicago. It has a weekly/bi weekly theme. Ryan,Brigitte, Katie and myself set this up as an outlet for local teens to come out to, instead of having to do whatever every one else in Fitchburg does on a Wednesday night. It runs from 8-Midnight, every wednesday. for 7$ cant go wrong..

We are hoping to keep this going through the fall. and if it does well keep it going till i move to Brooklyn NYC. From there the Gallery will have the final say for if it stays or goes.

week 1 we had 40 attendees
week 2 we had 81 attendees ...it might be catching on.



I also give out FREE free idea stuff here and there too.

FREE IDEA BLOCK PARTY

July 2nd I hosted the Free Idea block party at the Umbrella Art Gallery.
came in total of 87 attendees and just around 120 with band members and staff.

pictures coming soon. hope everyone had a good time.

THE UMBRELLA ART GALLERY

Almost a year ago, I was sitting in the Free Idea shop and this guy walks in, ... with a full beard, and is telling me how he wants to open up a open art space to support the small but growing art community in fitchburg. Naturally i was into it and told him that if he gets something like that going i would be 100% down to support it. And 1 year later. Ryan Scott and his fiance Brigitte. have opened up the Umbrella Art Gallery, which is a host for non critiqued art, music recordings, shows, and just an overall drop in spot where you can hang out read some books and get your ideas out.

Be sure to check this place out.

PROD

thanks to the fall and injury of my foot. i received extra tickets to the Mountain Dew Pro skateboard championship tour.


While leaving the event, My girlfriend Katie, and myself so happened to bump into pro skateboarder PROD. who had to be one of the most down to earth pros ive met. This dude dosnt hold himself higher than anyone. And will hold a conversation with you forever.

recurring injury

I have a bad foot... literally. Over the past 10 years of skateboarding i have counted up numerous injuries to my left foot/ankle the latest and possibly worst (not counting breaks) has been the collapsing of my heal. (yeah i know???) During a skate contest in the middle of June i took a slam on my heel and flattened out the heel and completely destroyed the muscle. now i get shots of jelly in it?!?! making me feel like i am walking on a sponge. im now on my 3rd week of a 5-6 week of full recovery.
